More quotes by Joan Baez
Mostly what I listen to when I turn on my little iPod is opera.
Joan Baez
I was writing Diamonds and Rust' and it had nothing to do with what it turned out to be. I don't remember what it is, but I think I was writing a song. It was literally interrupted by a phone call, and it just took another curve and it came out to be what it was.
Joan Baez
I am so disconnected from the world of rock 'n' roll. I was always peripheral, partly because of the drug culture. I was not involved in that.
Joan Baez
Social change really cannot happen unless people are willing to take a risk, and they were. And I was so moved by that, and of course by the way that he spoke, that made a huge dent in my belief system and my spirit.
Joan Baez
We both know what memories can bring / They bring diamonds and rust.
Joan Baez
I would say that I'm a nonviolent soldier. In place of weapons of violence, you have to use your mind, your heart, your sense of humor, every faculty available to you...because no one has the right to take the life of another human being.
Joan Baez
The point on nonviolence is to build a floor, a strong new floor, beneath which we can no longer sink.
Joan Baez
Noise is an imposition on sanity, and we live in very noisy times.
Joan Baez
You don't get to choose how you're going to die, or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. Now.
Joan Baez
The foundation of my beliefs is the same as it was when I was 10. Non-violence.
Joan Baez
I have heard more than once, 'Shut up and sing!' and I get it now.
Joan Baez
As we know, forgiveness of oneself is the hardest of all the forgivenesses.
Joan Baez
As long as we keep searching, the answers come.
Joan Baez
I don't think of myself as a symbol of the sixties, but I do think of myself as a symbol of following through on your beliefs.
Joan Baez
Somebody else does the rigor and then I listen. I have an assistant, and my manager, and other people who hunt and find and send it to me, and then I just figure out which ones I can do justice to.
Joan Baez
I was trying to disturb the war.
Joan Baez
If you don't have music, you have silence. There is power in both.
Joan Baez
You may not know it, but at the far end of despair, there is a white clearing where one is almost happy.
Joan Baez
During the 'ballad' years for me, the politics was latent I was just falling in love with the ballads and my boyfriend. And there was the beauty of the songs.
Joan Baez
Action is the antidote to despair.
Joan Baez
